Value Collection 01400423 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01400423 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and composite materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit resists heat buildup and light corrosion during extended use. It measures 0.6562 inches (21/32 inch) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces entry force and improves chip ejection. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking professionals use this bit for production and repair drilling applications.

This taper length drill bit is suited for shop and field drilling where extra flute length is needed beyond a jobber-length bit. The longer flute length of 5.125 inches and overall length of 9 inches allow deeper hole access in structural components, fabrication work, and machine maintenance. The right-hand spiral flute and standard point geometry make it a direct fit for conventional drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held power drills. It is appropriate for both light production runs and one-off repair tasks.

Key Features

• 0.6562 inch (21/32 inch) diameter with 118-degree standard point angle for versatile general-purpose use
• HSS construction provides durability and heat resistance in metal drilling applications
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers thrust requirements and improves chip clearing
• 5.125-inch flute length and 9-inch overall length for deeper hole access than standard jobber bits
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill presses, CNC drilling machines, and hand-held power drills accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.6562 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into any chuck sized to accept a straight-cylindrical shank. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm runout is within acceptable limits for the application. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is present.
